The Gao family was divorced, so naturally they would not just let it go. After all, they had given birth to several children to the Xie family. Even if they had no relationship with Xie Xiuran, they would definitely be reluctant to part with their children.
Mr. Gao is still living in Xiejiazhuang, but he doesn't dare to go to Xie's house, so he has to find a way to go to the county to talk to Xie Ronghui and Xie Rongye.
Mrs. Gao always felt that her two sons were her lifelong support, but she never thought that these two sons were no longer hers.
Xie Xiuwen was not surprised by Gao's unwillingness to give up. Whatever she wanted to do with her, it was a foregone conclusion. Moreover, with all the things Gao had done, if things really broke out, her life might not be saved. .
It just so happened that he also took this opportunity to see what Brother Hui's temperament was like. If he really knew what was right and wrong, he would know how he should choose.
Da Zhichao really wanted to be filial, but for a mother who deliberately wanted to harm others, being filial to such a person was tantamount to disregarding major issues of right and wrong. If this was the case, then Xie Ronghui would not be able to accomplish anything big in his life.
What's more, Xie Ronghui has already been adopted. Even if the Gao family is not divorced, the mother-child relationship with Xie Ronghui has been severed. Let's see how the child chooses.
In fact, Xie Xiuwen also felt that it was a bit cruel to let a teenager who was only a teenager make such a choice, but there was no way. When Gao did these vicious things, he should have thought of the consequences he would one day bear.
Xie Xiuwen is not a kind-hearted and generous person. Gao has murdered him more than once. He has been very kind by not adding insult to injury. If he still wants to get so-called forgiveness from himself, it is simply a dream. !
In fact, it was for the benefit of the clan that Xie Ronghui was adopted into his name. Otherwise, how could Xie Xiuwen agree to raise his enemy's son?
In the eyes of the clan members, Xie Ronghui is the most talented among the younger generation, and he has a good character. He was also very close to Xie Rongzhao's siblings in the past, so the clan leader took the risk and asked Xie Xiuwen to be adopted as his eldest son. .
Of course, in order to make Xie Xiuwen feel more comfortable, the patriarch also specifically mentioned that Xie Ronghui would not be allowed to inherit his family property in the future. In fact, he did not want Xie Xiuwen to be resentful towards Xie Ronghui.
In the next three or four years, the father and son will probably not have the chance to get along with each other again, so it is equivalent to only having the title of father and son, but no relationship between father and son.
Even so, Mr. Xie also felt that he owed his second son, so while being kind to Xie Ronghui, he also urged Xie Xiuran to improve, at least not to hinder the Xie family.
No matter how timid Xie Ronghui felt, he could not avoid the meeting between father and son.
Xie Xiuwen was still wearing a green robe and sitting behind the desk. Xie Ronghui was so nervous that his words were inevitably trembling.
"The son greets his father."
Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Well, tell me what have you learned recently?"
After the father and son chatted about their schoolwork for almost a quarter of an hour, Douzi came in with refreshments.
"Sir, eldest son, my wife ordered the younger one to bring this in. She also said that you two didn't eat much in the morning, so you need to put some food on the table first. I've prepared your favorite dishes for lunch."
Xie Xiuwen knew that his wife was deliberately reminding him not to be too distant from Xie Ronghui.
"Oh, I see."
Douzi retreated, and Xie Xiuwen said again: "I have read your articles in the past two months. The rhetoric is gorgeous, but unfortunately there is no substantial progress. I came back this time to bring you a few books, in addition to the homework assigned by your husband. In addition, you must study it carefully and then write it down to gain insights.”
Xie Ronghui's eyes lit up when he learned that his father had sent him a book, and he knew that he sincerely hoped that he could obtain fame as soon as possible.
"Yes, my son must be diligent. Thank you father for your guidance."
"Don't thank me in a hurry. After you are admitted as a scholar, you can consider studying in the official school in Gaoyang County, or your father will arrange for you to study in Mingshan Academy, or you can go to the capital. It's just you You must be clear that you cannot read rotely when studying, you must learn to integrate everything, so as to avoid being pedantic.”
"Yes, father."
Xie Ronghui was happy in his heart.
It can be heard from these arrangements by his father that even though there is a gap in his heart, he is sincerely doing it for his own good, and this is enough.
"How about Ge Sanshun following you? If you don't use it smoothly, you can also tell me directly."
"Thank you for your concern, father. Sanshun is very smart and diligent. My son is very satisfied."
Xie Xiuwen nodded. He also deliberately found a boy who was a few years older to follow him. If there was a conflict with someone, he could help him beat him up.
"I'm going to the capital to take up my post later. I'm afraid that we, father and son, won't be able to see each other for a long time. You can ask for leave from the school these days, and I will try to give you as much advice as possible. Also, later Let Sanshun take you to Zhuangzi to get familiar with it. Your mother and I are far away in the capital. You will also have to learn how to handle some of the affairs in Zhuangzi in the future, and you cannot just rely on the people below."
Xie Ronghui's excitement was beyond words. He never expected that his father would trust him so much.
"Yes, father, the son will definitely not disappoint his father and mother."
Xie Xiuwen sighed again, what a wonderful child, but he was born in the lap of that vicious couple.
Fortunately, this child's character is not bad, and I hope it will continue to be like this in the future.
"If you have any questions or difficulties in your studies, you can come to your father. In addition, I told your third uncle that every month, he will directly transfer the money to your second uncle from the shop. Two taels of silver, you can use this money to buy pens and ink, or you can buy some gadgets of your choice, but the same thing is, you are not allowed to gamble, remember that?"
"Yes, father."
Xie Ronghui felt that his throat was clogged again, and he had to give himself another two or two months of silver every month. He always felt that he was holding on to this money.
"Father, my son is close to home. If I need anything, my grandfather and uncle will help me buy it. This monthly payment will be waived."
Xie Xiuwen frowned, knowing that the child was being too cautious. He was a little satisfied but also a little distressed.
"What's given to you is yours. Not only you have it, Brother Lang in the capital also has it. However, because he is young, Yueyin is under the control of your mother, and he doesn't actually need that much. You are different. You are older, your mother and I are not around, and you have to spend your money, so it is not good for you to have your grandpa and third uncle take charge of everything."
Xie Ronghui understood that the money was just for him to spend, and it could be regarded as a disguised way to lighten the burden on the public.
"Yes, my son has remembered it."
"This is the homework I assigned you. You can do it yourself. Give it to me before dinner. Get up at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to endorse it, and check it for your father at 4 o'clock in the morning."
